This is akin to the asshole who fed a baby monster, and now that it’s devoured the curtain that obscured what the assholes behind it were doing and how, it is now calling foul. A Rube-Goldberg machine it is not, but it’s falling apart nonetheless. Goodbye to rubbish.

Is anyone going to mention that Justices Roberts, Kavanaugh, and Barrett were all young lawyers on the Florida recount case in 2000 when George W. Bush stole the election? They should have recused themselves on all voter suppression & election stealing cases, but such cases are their raison d'etre.

A reminder George W. Bush “won” the Florida recount in 2000 (and hence the entire presidential election) by just 537 votes because of felony disenfranchisement laws (driven primarily by the racist drug war). Republicans conveniently overpurged Florida voter rolls right before the election.

I don’t think judges/justices should have to recuse because they worked on a case in the same field in the past (by that logic, I couldn’t be on election cases either if I were a judge), but none of these people should’ve made it to the court in the first place

I think about this constantly! Stolen election to mass surveillance to Southwest Asia wars with notable war crimes while expanding (creating!) DHS and racial profiling and slashing taxes for the wealthy -- I wonder who that could describe!

In my opinion, the bigger problem was Florida Dems leaving seats uncontested... too many for a swing state at the time back in 2000. If they had contested all the seats, up and down the ballot, Al Gore would have won. I know I hate saying it, but we can't let the GOP have free passes anymore.

Kavanaugh didn't scream and cry himself red at his confirmation to recuse himself from cases that would allow him to disenfranchise Black voters

There is NOTHING mind boggling about the John Birch Society or the Heritage Foundation. That a formerly respected icon of the free press had to run this as an OPINION PIECE says it all. The First Amendment has fallen. The 4th and 14th are meaningless. They'll keep the 5th though.
